Sofia's is an excellent place to take art classes! They really helped me with my portfolio and gave me that one on one time I needed to excel at a quick pace. I loved their drawing and figure drawing classes especially. Because of their help, I was accepted to all of the art schools I applied to: Parsons, SCAD, CCAD, and FIT. Definitely recommend taking classes there- wish I had started sooner!

The Sofia Art Academy is unmatched in comparison to any art school around, i have personally experienced traditional art school teachings in Russia which is much "higher class" than any art ive seen here in america, you can see a huge difference between quality of the drawings and at Sofia Art the instructors will help you every step of the way, they help you create a plan specifically for you and you can work in different medias: paint, graphite and you can work on specific paintings or drawings of your choice or you can choose to learn about composition or you can just let the instructors help you decide whats best for your intrests and timing.
